The ‘Divine Victory’

"Hassan Nasrallah just announced that Hizbullah has achieved a “significant strategic and historical victory against Israel, not just for Lebanon and the resistance, but also for the entire Umma.”

Of course, for leaders like Nasrallah, their mere survival is a victory in their eyes, and the eyes of the ‘Ummah’. I am reminded by Saddam Hussein's speech in the wake of the 1991 Gulf War. The fact that the Shi’ite warlord managed to fire hundreds of missiles deep into Israel, a feat that not even Gamal Abdul Nasser could achieve in his time, represents another major victory for the Arab and Muslim masses starving for any semblance of Israeli and western defeat, only to add more imaginary victories to feed their self-delusion for years to come.
